Do you EVER get tired of being wrong? God did not "make" us. We evolved (most of us, jury's still out on you). Evolution selected, over billions of years, means of reproduction that increased the survivability of organisms. In the higher animal kingdoms, this means male-female sex. Across the entire animal kingdom this varies, as some will mate with the same sex when the opposite is not available -- and some few will mate with the same sex even when the other is available. We are born that way. Like Uncle said, you might marry someone of the opposite sex and even enjoy boinking, but if your in-born desire is for the same sex, you cannot change that.
All the hate and cruelty towards whose who are gay in our culture, comes straight from misinterpreting assholes like yourself. No doubt you favor the abhorrent "pray away the gay" conversion "therapy," right?
Here is the above condensed: Being gay is NOT A SIN. Period.

Agreed on the philosophy offered by Jesus.
The Old Testament is a great record for something that dates back to around 1350 BC. Even if all or some of the writings are composites, it depicts the culture of the time. As more modern historians have often noted, the History of Mankind is written in blood. The OT is not different.

To those who believe that homosexuality is a sin, any takers on my question about Sodom and Gomorrah?

God's Word is more trustworthy than Birdwoman. She thinks she's the only human on earth who has never sinned thus giving her the authority to rewrite God's Word.
It's one thing to be honest and say that one simply disagrees with God. It's another to accuse God of lying......basically when He says NO, but one says that He really said YES.
Typical liberal move. Change the rules to fit your own particular opinion and wants. Essentially it's those who make themselves god and there are many around. Go for it.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

God says we shall judge sinful behavior. And, to love and pray for them. We do NOT judge any soul. YOU however do that relentlessly.
YOU on the other hand have no basis to judge in ANY way, ANY one, at ANY time according to the Word of God in whom you want nothing to do with.

Both could be correct. If God really is really all powerful, all knowing and all merciful, wouldn't the ultimate power be able to, figuratively, toss out a handful of sand and know what would grow 13+ billion years later? In fact, to an eternal being, there's no time. No difference between one nanosecond and 200 billion years.
Agreed on innate desires. Sexuality is wired very deeply into all sexual species. Any species which reproduces using sex would favor those who mated with the correct mate. In this way, homosexuality is an evolutionary dead end since it's not reproductive sex. If all human beings suddenly didn't have heterosexual sex and only favored homosexual sex, the human species would quickly die out. Obviously that's not going to happen anytime soon.
Homosexuality has been well known to exist in all written history. Some cultures accept it, some frown on it and others try to burn homosexuals at the stake. I prefer the cultures that allow freedom to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
